re: caney Fork

Mr. Mike:
Blue Raider is right ; there are a couple great guides in Nashville. I would spend days on the river without catching- finally made guide investment and it paid dividends. I can tell you I am partial to one guy. Maybe Byron will pass along his info. PS I finally decided to quit being a lurker- first post

I would contact Jim at FlySouth if I was looking for a guide on the Caney. Jim and his crew have been there for as long as anyone. Another to look at would be Chris Nischan (sp) from what I hear he is good as well.

Yeah, if your going to be in Nashville, FlySouth is the best IMO. They have a HUGE supply of tying materials and a lot of nice gear. If you are in East Tennessee though, go to LRO. I always go to the mom and pop places. No Bass Pro for me unless the others don't have what I need.

Guide on the Caney

This guide doesn't have a fly shop, so I don't think this is a conflict.
Mike Anderson @ trophyfishingtn.com. He knows the river intimately and has an excellent boat for that river. Not a drift boat though. I hear nothing but good about Grumpy as well, though I haven't fished with him.
Best,
John
